Inside

Inside of me
is a man that I knew
who could face these changes
who could exchange these faces

inside of you
is a dream that I see
and now the echos of voices
yes these echos are calling to me

On each line
lays buried,
a vanished river;
a brief history
of my pain.
Like criss crossing veins
on the plane of a leaf
they create patterns;
a map of my inner strife.
In solitude
I yearn,
a hunger inexplicable
in words, burns inside;
a new leaf
with eclectic patterns
is magically born,
my moment of
serendipity blooms.
I feel the warm kiss
of sun on my tender leaf

If I could go back in time

The first thing I would do

Is take every line from all loves rhymes

And give them all to you

I've made myself bleed.
The thought of doing it never occurred to me.
But I was curious.
I wanted to know what it was like to slice open your skin.
To play with knives and blades.
To have blood dripping.
And now that I've done it,
I promised to never do it again.
But the thought of doing it is addicting.
I like the pain.
I like the endorphins released.
I like the feel of it.
I like how it takes away my pain for a moment.
I might do it again.
I might never stop.
Here's to hoping I will be saved.

it's hard to crack a
coconut while
sitting under the
water;
in order to understand
the fundamentals of a
broken heart
you've got to know the
secrets of the soul

wait.

99% of human beings
are enchanted
and to lick the moon
you don't always have to
travel to mars.

Now wait.

May your heart be drawn out and thrown into the sky so we all must see its beauty.

Let the stardust from your touch linger through the air so we may all feel a piece of you.

Allow your lips to speak the words unspoken so we must all die to listen.

I beg of you to take my hand and never let go, for if you do I will be cold and worthless.

Let the color of your eyes hypnotize me forever; I never want to see anything but you.

You are more beautiful than any man I have seen, you voice is like silk and I pity those who haven't heard it.

I pray for those who will never meet you, because it was such an honor in knowing you.

Those three words are useless, for I will give you my whole being and heart.

That is more than three words, but it still means the exact thing.

Please be infinite with me.

I beg of you.
